Common questions about the Gothic Picket

What makes a picket gothic?

The picket tops come to a point in the traditional gothic profile, which reads more colonial and formal than a flat or dog-ear top. It is a look you see on older East Coast homes, done here in vinyl that never needs paint.

How much privacy does it actually give?

It is a semi-privacy style: the spacing breaks up direct sightlines but does not create a solid wall. Think of it as presence and boundary first, screening second.

What is the lead time?

Made to order, typically 4 to 6 weeks before shipping. Add transit time when you plan the project.

Why the moderate install rating?

Keeping the picket pattern consistent across a long run takes more layout discipline than a plain flat-top panel. A careful DIYer can absolutely do it; our Wilmington, NC crews can also take it off your hands.

Is there a matching gate?

Yes — the gothic picket gate (style G15) is built to match this panel in profile, spacing, and color. Order them together so everything arrives in one shipment.
